Peasants 1914

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1914 painting, "Peasants," depicts a man and woman seated in a field, likely engaged in a rural task. The woman, dressed in traditional garb, pours liquid from a pitcher into a bowl while the man, similarly clad, looks on. This portrayal of everyday peasant life exemplifies Serebriakova's interest in capturing the essence of Russian culture, particularly the enduring traditions and simple beauty found in rural settings. The painting's warmth and sense of quiet intimacy resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into a world removed from the bustling city.
